Development of Islamic Economic and Islamic Finance in Indonesia and Bahrain has achieved a significant progress,
as evidenced by the large number of Islamic financial institutions operating in
the two countries either as banks or Non Bank financial institutions. The two countries are Muslim majority in term
of population with a level of dynamic economic development, especially in the
Islamic financial industry. The development of the Islamic financial industry has
to be followed by the establishment of the academic programs and the centers
for the study of Islamic Economics and finance. Three of the institutions that
have concern with this aspect are University College of Bahrain, Airlangga University
in Indonesia, and TriSakti University in Indonesia. The two countries
certainly have problems and challenges facing their Islamic financial industry.
The diverse issues and problems can potentially be further explored in order to
be known and researched more comprehensively in order to find solutions
simultaneously through scientific ways.

Thus, the University College of Bahrain, a renown private
university dedicated to provide a professional business education, the
Airlangga University which is one of the largest state Universities in
Indonesia, and the Trisakti University, which is one of the best private
universities in Indonesia and the first university that introduced Islamic
economics program agreed to cooperate in
conducting a thematic workshop on Exploring ISLAMIC ECONOMIC, FINANCE AND BUSINESS
RESEARCH ISSUES IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTH EAST ASIA.

of knowledge sharing and the promotion of innovation internationally. The
workshop encourages experts and scholars in University College of Bahrain, Trisakti University
